Yeah, they grow like tatters down here. There's a fresh crop every year. Even had to get the dozer out in the field a few times to move some in the 2-3,000 pound range. I can't imagine how those things float to the top. I have those saved under a tree for use in later landscaping, maybe. Those...

Does that shaft drive a pump? You let the maintenance go too long. That chain coupling is also worn and probably caused the wear on the shaft. If that's the nose of the crankshaft, you may have to change the way the (pump) shaft is driven or pull the crankshaft for machining. A new spine end can...

I have a 1986 model Woods "Mow-n-Machine" (Grasshopper) that I bought used around 2005. I put new rings in the engine and did a valve job about four years ago. While I had it all apart, I repainted it. One of the wheel motors finally gave up the ghost last summer so I'm either going to convert...

I made some forks out of old 1" square drive shafting so they're not true pallet forks. It's hard stuff. I couldn't cut it with a hacksaw. They clamp to the leading edge of the bucket and extend out ~24" then to the rear of the bucket for counter support. I use them for moving shop equipment...

I have an old Sulair 160 for large blasting jobs. It uses a 4-cyl. Chevy engine to drive a twin-screw compressor. I run the air to a 20 gallon tank so I can better control the pressure with a regulator and a filter/drier. From there it goes to my 300lb. pressurized media tank. When I'm blasting...

Them ain't hogs, them's piglets! :) This is a hog. And a small one at that.

We always enjoy spending other peoples money so my entry is a boom mower. :)

We've had an unusual number of wild hogs going through the property lately. One scared the bejeebers out of me while I was out back fixing up the long neglected shooting range. (Midmorning and bright sun.) I had a arm load of lumber and when the brush and ground started shaking, I about pooped...

I placed two orders last week with about five items in each order. All the items except for one were "sold and fulfilled" by Amazon and the only item I've received so far is the one item NOT from Amazon. I've been getting daily emails stating they've shipped an item. They can't be making any...

Quick question on handgun magazines-- Do any of you lube the magazine? The newly purchased S&W Shield came with two mags and both are extremely stiff and hard to load. I didn't want to oil them and make them dirt magnets so I pulled one apart and "greased" the spring and follower with thread...

The actual Washington Post is not far from this satire. On Monday they had articles on what Hillary should do during her first 100 days, how the Republican Party is in such disarray, and how Trump's brand will be damaged by his loss!

As I mentioned, it's probably a keystroke monitor in vBulletin (The software for this forum). If you're running IE-11 browser and know a little HTML, you can click on Tools > F12 Developer Tools and see the HTML code for the page being displayed. This is how I learned of the Google Analytics...

Looks like more going on with Kimaran's flail than drive belts. The flail rotor should turn with even one belt. I see what appears to be three belts still on the lower pulley. Normally, when they break they're nowhere to be found. Here's a shot of my Caldwell Barracuda three-belt drive. (The...

After re-reading the OP, a single valve won't work for what he wants though. Sounds like he wants the cylinders activated independently from one another with a single valve. No can do. :confused3:

I wouldn't say anything to the neighbor. Let natural selection take it's course. All you can do is hope your children don't have to support his children for the rest of their life if they are injured. The Darwin theory lives on but stupid seems to be polluting the gene pool.
